Cool that Hamilton's Miranda's Hamilton's wife is still white in the play. Wouldn't want the race swapping to remove the important race relations.

“There’s an unspoken consensus about the stories we should pursue and how they should be framed. It’s frictionless—one story after another about instances of supposed racism, transphobia, signs of the climate apocalypse, Israel doing something bad, and the dire threat of Republican policies. It’s almost like an assembly line. “

This guy's not wrong, per se. There was a dramatic tonal shift after Trump won and I'll admit that's the last time I've listened regularly. It was always lib af but at least you could listen to the news and generally get a survey of the stories (along with an obvious "promoted" viewpoint) but post 2016 it wasn't even pretending to be in any way impartial not only in the viewpoint but in what was being reported on.

I'll even go so far as agreeing with the idea that impartiality isn't possible in journalism and having a disclosed point of view is a better way of approaching journalism. But when your ideology forces you to ignore stories that ought to be covered, or when your prior coverage is memory-holed the instant its proven to be completely fabricated rather than acknowledged, this guy is right, you're just a propaganda outlet.

Where he stops short, and where all critics of journalism today stop short, is in denial of the root cause which is this isn't a country with a cohesive, shared narrative. No journalistic outfit can be all things to all people because we have a media landscape which caters to the reality that this country is comprised of two diametrically opposed groups, neither of which has a worldview that corresponds to reality in any way, and they exist in the milieu of millions of people trapped in that reality who can clearly see the problems and have absolutely no political or media representation at all.

And of these two groups, only the right wing uses its platforms to explain to those trapped in the reality of things why they're the group to back, because they have people to blame and prescriptions for solving it. Which is why this article ends with a link to him talking to Bari Weiss about it. Because the libs have no answer for us in reality, only contempt, and there's no way to counter the right's narrative with liberal nonsense because it can't--if you aren't in the church the sermon isn't for you.

So yes, our institutions have no public trust because they've demonstrated themselves unworthy of it, and yes, there are a vast swath of people interested in finding something trustworthy. But it's not the workeness that lost that trust, it's the fact the truth is uncomfortable to those in power and mass journalism, by definition, is beholden to power.

I remember the D&D covid thread had a lot of people speculating that Trump would force the CDC to release an ineffective or even dangerous vaccine and cover up all the evidence.

Okay, so I have to know, why does everyone keep posting pictures of Tom Green wearing glasses in this thread??

RealityWarCriminal posted:

oh, word?

quote:

I guess the question is what authority do you trust if they tell you they have a vaccine, and it is safe and effective? We've already demonstrated that you can't trust the POTUS, and any department reporting to him is dubious. Anything out of the UK, Russia or Brazil is similarly suspect. I think that's the biggest thing that is going to leave us hosed, nobody with any authority has any credibility

quote:

A person can reasonably be pro-vaccine in general circumstances yet still be suspicious of a rushed vaccine encouraged by the Trump administration and its weakened regulatory state.

quote:

I think they are more voicing the opinion that they'd feel better about a vaccine that passed regulatory and safety hurdles in countries that didn't have a gutted regulatory system and an incestuous interplay of industry and government in its regulatory agencies. Which doesn't strike me as irrational or anti-vaxx.

quote:

I despise anti-vaxxers, and as a volunteer in a homeschooling community I encounter far too many of them (thankfully their kids all know it's nonsense, and some of the older ones have actually gotten vaccinations without their parents' knowledge), so I'm really struggling with my sense of unease about a rushed-for-political-purposes COVID-19 vaccine. We've had folks who are in the know posting in these threads about the potential for harm that a botched or deliberately undermined vaccine trial could hold, harm which might not even become evident for years. Will I get a vaccine if it becomes available? gently caress, probably? But I will absolutely be waiting to see if more trustworthy European agencies sign off on it, and even then I'll be tempted to wait for a few months.

Help me out with this, goons: if a vaccine becomes available and seems credible (by whatever standard of credible you want to use), are we morally obligated to take it as soon as possible? Or is it sufficient to continue practicing diligent mask-wearing and social distancing for some period while waiting to see how the early adopters fare?

quote:

My strategy is to try to continue living in a country that doesn't have enough of a coronavirus problem to need to rush into vaccinating, and see what happens to 200 million Americans when they switch from being lab rats for a highly dangerous and unpredictable novel virus to being lab rats for the brand new vaccine.

quote:

You guys are assuming that they will, we're saying that in the highly charged political climate in the US and various other places there is a much higher than usual risk that pressure will be put on industry and regulators to sign off a vaccine quickly to secure the leaders' electoral prospects.

It would have been interesting to see the liberal reaction to the vaccine if Trump had won.

On the one hand The Money wanted people vaccinated so they could be forced back to work, encouraged to go out and spend money, etc. On the other hand TDS.

To be fair releasing inadequate protection and telling people the problem is solved so they can go back to work and die is exactly what the government did so it wasn't really an unfounded concern that it'd happen under trump, it just happened under biden instead.

Yeah true, for sure a situation where the CDC just ignored the data so you've got to look at that.

PoundSand posted:

Yeah the cdc completely trashed their reputation over the politics of covid and trying not to let the economy get disrupted by it.

People who thought it was a trump thing are dumb for sure but the idea that public health is in shambles because it would hurt number is spot on.

Democrats are increasingly nervous that former President Trump will woo centrist voters away from President Biden.

Trump’s public stance this week on abortion was a clear signal of his desire to shift to a more centrist position on an issue that has repeatedly helped win elections for Democrats.
